At the high school in Riner Virginia. Lots of entertainment! The fire truck had arrived. Petting zoo Civil war reinactment and other historical displays. Blacksmith. Shopping raffles food and more! Come say hello!

The first batch of gourds have sprouted in the old water tanks. These tanks have been filled with straw the sprinkled with high nitrogen bat guano. A 6 inch layer of last years potting soil is on top of that for starting the seeds. The tanks either leak already or have a drain. New tanks are catching rain water nearby to keep it watered.

Last minute Mother’s Day gifts!

In the meantime here are some pictures of the clematis on my deck!

This is the last of this style of coaster! I do have a few trivets to match also!

These coasters are a new style that sold well yesterday so I am making more this rainy day. I have this same pattern in the 6 inch trivets so you could get a matching set!
